Re: Cynder - the other purple dragon

If you look closely on levels such as Valley of Avalar, you can see that spyro's purple was reflecting onto cynder's scales making here APPEAR purple when she isnt, whereas in dark lighted levels such as burned lands cynder is clearly seen as black. All the speculations on cynder being purple wrong and are simply down to spyro's colour being reflected onto cynder in the game.

Re: Cynder - the other purple dragon

Look, EL just probably made a color error on Cynder. This doesn't change the fact that she's another purple dragon. The characters didn't even say anything about Cynder being another purple dragon, did they? No. Can't we just jump to the conclusion that Estranges Libellules simply made a coloring mistake on Cynder that makes her look purple?? She's still A BLACK DRAGON, people. It would ruin the storyline if they suddenly made Cynder a purple dragon too, and it wouldn't make any sense at all.

And Sethisto, don't get too carried away with taking pictures of DotD Cynder alright?

Re: Cynder - the other purple dragon

I doubt it was a color error on EL's part. To keep it from ruining the storyline however, Cynder is an indigo dragon, not purple. Spynder's idea is possible, but I don't think the developers had that in mind when changing her color.

Re: Cynder - the other purple dragon

She is black. Compare her to a blacksnake. Blacksnakes are black, but the reflection of light on their scales gives them a purplish cast.

Re: Cynder - the other purple dragon

Barely purple on those. Cynder is purple even in dark rooms.  Why would she go from being so obviously black in ten to black only when lighting conditions are absolutely perfect and satturation is down to 0?

Re: Cynder - the other purple dragon

Definitely some shading issues on EL's part. Cynder being a purple dragon would be the MOTHER of all clichés in an already cliché-filled, over-epic'd storyline. >.>
